The Benefits for Neurodivergent Learners are Invaluable!

Drumming is a naturalistic, evidence-based, music-centered intervention that gives all learners -particularly NEURODIVERGENT THINKERS or high-functioning, nontraditional learners- behavioral alternatives meant to help children self-regulate in an effort to promote an improved sense of control, greater feelings of purpose, and enhanced autonomy, and authority.

DrumKids' basic drumming instruction and informal check-ins are all structured to provide children with options that they can utilize in order to reduce anxiety, rebalance their emotional elevation, or promote synchronicity when feeling overwhelmed or out-of-synch.

Drumming isn't about the noise, it's about the process, the actions that give our children a concrete intervention when they feel overwhelmed by emotion, or when they are compelled to do something with their hands or bodies.

Drumming is a naturalistic, evidence-based, music-centered intervention that gives NEURODIVERGENT THINKERS alternatives to certain behaviors and emotions.

Kids love drumming. These simple drum sessions feature the basics of drumming and drum patterning. Through drumming, learners can practice skills that may help regulate or soothe nontraditional behaviors. Not convert. Not mask. Only soothe or self-regulate.

And the best part is that learners do not need drums to participate. Learners may work with drumsticks alone or even with only their fingers. When working with nontraditional or atypical learners, REPETITION is key. And an advantage of drumming lies within the patterns we will learn. Why? Because drum patterns offer repetitious movements that learners can implement whenever they are feeling stressed, bored, overstimulated, agitated, anxious, and more.

The simple steps, patterns, and strategies learners practice during drumming sessions can be used in real-world situations and environments to help them become rebalanced, to reduce anxiety, or to promote synchronicity when feeling out of synch. Scientific studies have analyzed music, synchronization, and the electrical activity in the brain, and what they've found is that music has the ability to soothe, align, and redirect. A student quietly tapping a drum pattern to themselves serves as a form of self-regulation and helps the learner facilitate greater autonomy and an improved sense of control.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

Can I receive a refund for my purchase?

Refunds are not covered for any reason. Courses may be rescheduled 60 minutes or more before the start of your session. Please see our LEARNER AGREEMENT and TERMS OF USE for more information on rescheduling.

How do I schedule my drum session?

Upon purchasing your child's Individual or Group sessions, you will receive further instructions and next steps including how to book the date and time for your learner's upcoming drum session.

But just in case you don't want to wait, please visit the DRUMKIDS SCHEDULER and select the session DATE and TIME that best works for you.

Can I purchase sessions more than once?

Absolutely! We hope your child enjoys drumming. We recommend registering for drum sessions on a regular basis. And repurchasing is easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy. Simply purchase the session again HERE. Lessons will be scaffolded for your learner so they learn something new with each session.

Where do I fill out my Enrollment INTAKE Form?

Prior to your child's upcoming drum session, please complete this short INTAKE FORM.

Which sticks should I buy? What drumsticks do you recommend?

While drumsticks are preferred, and will eventually need to be added to your supply list if your little learner finds themselves truly interested in the art of percussion, actual drumsticks are not necessary for their first lesson(s). Nor are drumsticks required if you believe they would pose a problem or be utilized in a non-constructive manner.

That being said, take a look at the DRUMKIDS SUPPLY LIST which includes everything from sticks to snares. Or find out the answers to questions such as: 'What do the numbers on my drumsticks mean"? in Dr. Sasha's blog post HERE.

How long is each drum session?

Classes are LIVE and 25 minutes each. Additional time is not added for late arrivals. Breaks may be incorporated for children who need sessions broken into sections. Full lessons will not extend beyond 25 minutes, breaks included.

Does my child need to show their faces on screen?

Learners must be available and shown LIVE, on-screen during the session. The camera should be placed so that each student's face (and hands in the case of drum sessions) are visible to the instructor.
